[00:00.00]Yesterday, When I Was Young (Complete version originally performed by Roy Clark) - Various Artists
[00:20.20]Yesterday when I was young
[00:24.70]The taste of life was sweet
[00:27.39]Like rain upon my tongue
[00:30.10]I teased at life as if
[00:32.88]It were a foolish game
[00:35.42]The way an evening breeze
[00:38.01]May tease a candle flame
[00:40.55]The thousand dreams I dreamed
[00:42.88]The splendid things I planned
[00:45.57]I always built to last
[00:48.04]On weak and shifting sand
[00:50.84]I lived by night and shunned
[00:54.36]The naked light of day
[00:56.49]And only now I see
[00:59.15]How the years have ran away
[01:01.59]Yesterday when I was young
[01:06.28]There were so many songs
[01:09.15]That waited to be sung
[01:11.89]So many wild pleasures
[01:14.73]Lay in store for me
[01:16.87]And so much pain
[01:19.09]My dazzled eyes refused to see
[01:22.30]I ran so fast that time
[01:24.63]And youth at last ran out
[01:27.22]I never stopped to think
[01:29.83]What life was all about
[01:32.43]And every conversation
[01:35.69]That I can now recall
[01:38.16]Concerns itself with me
[01:40.69]And nothing else at all
[02:04.54]Yesterday the moon was blue
[02:09.58]And every crazy day
[02:11.91]Brought something new to do
[02:14.93]And I used my magic age
[02:17.79]As if it were a wand
[02:20.41]And never saw the waste
[02:22.91]And emptiness beyond
[02:25.58]The game of love I played
[02:27.83]With arrogance and pride
[02:30.28]And every flame I lit
[02:33.02]So quickly quickly died
[02:35.78]The friends I made all seemed
[02:38.71]Somehow to drift away
[02:41.09]And only I am left
[02:43.53]On stage to end the play
[02:46.28]There are so many songs in me
[02:49.46]That won't be sung
[02:51.32]I feel the bitter taste
[02:53.74]Of tears upon my tongue
[02:56.53]And The time has come for me
[02:59.65]To pay for yesterday
[03:03.26]When I was young
